Same "run" patch variety

[bumblebee]

Got a bunch of "same run" or "same box" marbles in a recent score. Most are basic blue and white patches (presumably Akro) but I picked out a few "tweeners" from that group to show the variety.

Makes me realize that a lot of my favorite marbles are probably happy accidents.

Finally, if the top left was made during a patch "run" but ended up opaque, is it an opaque game marble or a monochrome patch?

Nice example.

It took me ages to figure out that half the odd vitros that I couldn't identify were just weird and wonderful Conqueror variants. There can be a huge variance from 'typical'.

Steph are you suggesting we're all just happy accidents who have rolled onto this Big Blue Marble from the conveyor belts of eternity?

Speaking of which, I used to watch that show in the 70s around the time I had a sock full of marbles I kept losing to the bigger kids! I will never forget that theme song.

Yeah, yeah, that's what I meant.

A while back I had a pic of Akro patch "run" that went from a pattern of green/white/rust to green/white/oxblood to show variety.  See if I can find it outside of photobucket.
